Sidewalk Replacement

Overview

The Engineering department walks one of six sidewalk zones throughout the City each year. Defective sidewalk in that zone is marked to denote the particular defect and action to be taken. Sidewalk replacements are assessed to the property owner for a percentage of the cost of the replacement, depending on a few factors. More information on assessments can be found on our Special Assessment Policies and Procedures page.
